IMPROVEMENT IN STOVS FOR SMOKE-HOUSES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 132,143, dated October 15, 1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IsAAc N. DEARDOREE, of Canal Dover, in the county of Tuscarawas and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Stove or Furnace for Smoking Meats; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing making part of this specification- Figure 1 being a View of the stove in perspective; and Fig. 2, a longitudinal vertical section of the same.

Like letters designate corresponding parts in both figures.

The nature of my invention consists in a stove or furnace in which to generate smoke by burning twigs or other suitable fuel for smoking meats, the said stove being of peculiar construction for the purpose; the main ob jects being to increase the volume of smoke and-t0 regulate its production, and to insure perfect safety against fire, substantially as hereinafter set forth.

The body A of the stove, of any required size and suitable form, has a perforated top, B, as represented, through which issues the smoke generated inside by imperfect combustion. There may be also some perforations in the sides, as shown. In one end ofthe stove is a door, a, for admitting the fuel, which is placed on a grate, C, concave, or dishing, or sunk in the middle or front end, with sides raised a few inches, as indicated in Fig. 2, in order to keep the fuel sufficiently compacted. The rear part b, as shown, has grate-like openings, While the front part c is simply per- ISAAC N. DEARDORFF.
